SLAY

In this compelling debut novel, Kiera Johnson, a seventeen-year-old honors student and game developer, creates the Black Panther-inspired online game SLAY, which offers a safe space for Black gamers. However, her world is turned upside down when a murder linked to the game captures media attention, leading to accusations of racism and a threat from an anonymous troll. As Kiera fights to protect her creation and navigate the complexities of her dual identity, she confronts the challenges of being unapologetically Black in a world that often seeks to suppress it.
